Have ya'll ever seen the space station traverse the sky? It's really a fun sight to see. Just a bright dot moving too fast for an airplane, but too constant for a shooting star. It's amazing to think that there are six people onboard doing science experiments not thought possible just a few decades ago.
OK, off my soapbox. Viewing opportunities vary by location, and can be looked up at the link below. In Texas, there is a great pass to see on the evening of December 24. I know one little girl who's going to be outside on the evening of the 24th, watching "Santa" go overhead.
